La Traviata In Palermo

Informal environment, we stopped for lunch and having seen that some of the staff is of Tunisian origin we focused on dishes such as couscous and in fact it was an excellent choice. Dish with excellent raw materials, good flavor and plentiful, otherwise average service, friendly waiters and a simple but clean place.

Since 6years - still best place in Palermo

Everything was excellent, compliments to the chef!!

Fun sports bar. The food is what you see is what you get, no nonsense or too fancy stuff, but very well priced. Can be loud later in the evening; busy place with lots of families! Had a good time :)

Great food and wine at decent prices. Great atmosphere, and you can watch football!

Sitting outside was a bit fresh. Plastic tent kept us a bit warm. Service was ok and friendly. The pasta Norma was a great tomato sauce, but I had better in Palermo. I tried some local wine and insalata Siciliana.

All good... I recommend the pizzas and couscous, friendly staff and prices within everyone's reach

I witnessed the facts up close. I can report, with due denial, that no aggression, neither verbal nor physical, occurred against the man who accompanied the woman who writes and who, with unexpected petulance, complained about a 3-year-old child who had been crying at the next table to his. Indeed, faced with the couple's absolute lack of tact and understanding, the owner politely invited them to change tables, clashing with their overbearing and offensive refusal. I would also add that, when the above-mentioned events occurred, the child together with his mother had already moved away from the table, in order to avoid the continuation of any possible disturbance. I conclude with the following consideration: the woman I read, certainly biased, states facts and qualifications that do not correspond to the reality of what happened, in the face of the general disappointment generated among all the patrons of the place by the reprehensible and inappropriate, as well as whiny, attitude held by the person who accompanied the same person. In essence I find, in the review under challenge here, as well as bad free publicity, clearly defamatory reflections.

In reality the facts went differently... the couple in question inappropriately complained about the fact that a child was crying at the next table

We had dinner 3 or 4 times here :) Absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is of a nice trattoria mixed with a sports bar - if you love football you can sit on this side where they were playing Sky Sports , if you want more ambiance the indoor tables or the ones on the other side are for you :) Service and staff : they were very welcoming, orders on point, prompt service and really no delays with being served. Now the food : the menu is easy to read, there s a well built variety of local dishes. We tried : Sea food spaghetti, Risotto, Pizzas, Stinco de maiale (pork knuckle slow cooked) , mixed fried sea food…. I think we had sea food each time we visited : fresh and great taste!!! The tiramisu is nice soft and not too much coffee (in case you don’t like coffee ) Because we enjoyed 2-3 courses and a bottle of local wine each time we were there the final bill was on the higher end. But I would say it’s very affordable considering mains are between 12-18€ I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to enjoy local cuisine ! What’s more they had a kebab stand freshly made in front of you - we have not tried that but people were popping in and the kebab chef was busy all the time with orders so that says a lot …
